TRANSFER STUDENT - Application Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Arizona State University

<p>Hello all. </p>

<p>I attended the University of Arizona during the Fall of '11, and submitted an application for W. P. Carey School of Business at ASU with a 3.4 GPA for my first semester of college and was denied. Embarrassing, right? However, I’ve heard from many credible sources that it’s hard to get into if you have below a 3.7 GPA. </p>

<p>On the DENIED status it also said “You are not admissible at this time. Please contact Undergraduate Admissions at 480-965-7788 for options.” I was wondering if it would be easy for them to change my application to “undecided/undeclared” without having to pay for another application fee and send my transcripts again. I need to be accepted as soon as possible so I can attend next semester and I’m cutting it close. I need advice.</p>

<p>One of my main questions like I stated before however is if they’ll allow me to change my major on my application to “undecided/undeclared” if I call them. Their message to me when being denied implies that to me, but I don’t know.</p>

<p>I’d appreciate if anyone could help me answer this. Thanks!</p>

<p>I would just give them a call and ask. The worst they can say is “no.”</p>

<p>Explore all your options - perhaps there is a major (BA in business?) that you could declare and be admitted and still be in the business school. As I understand it each major within the business school has its own requirement for transfer - possibly depending on demand? </p>

<p>Curious, why are you bailing out of U of A?</p>
